Completed all objectives except I want a stone mask.
I have the shovel, but where is the readable kicking off the task for getting a mask for Brother Dale?

NEVERMIND: The grave you're supposed to dig is next to the tree in the garden; frobbing with the shovel in hand close to the tree finally lights up the grave. I have my mask.

This FM was absolutely incredible, Nicked! This is right up there with Sturmdrang Peak among the best you've ever done. I have a lot to say about this one, so excuse me while I rant a little inside of some spoiler tags:
Some things I loved:
1. It was brilliant how nearly every guard had something to do during their patrol route that made them seem more alive (taking a smoke break, kicking a drunk, saluting a statue, peeing off a building). It made it a genuine downer to have to knock them out, they all just seemed so alive! The mission felt legitimately lonelier when they were all knocked out.
2. The interactions with the NPCs were terrific. Even the relatively meaningless ones (I loved the prostitute that hits on you when you slip in through her window...and no that wasn't a euphemism).
3. This has probably been said 1,000 times already in this thread, but this entire FM was gorgeous. Having it take place at sunset was genius.
4. It's hard to choose a favorite bit, but I'd probably have to go with Faramund's workshop (I probably butchered the spelling, I'm sorry). Question: is it possible to completely ghost this bit? When I used the amulet to enter this area I appeared directly in front of his ghost, and had to give him a good and prompt stabbing. Does this always happen, or is my timing just horrible?
Other things:
1. I mostly loved the puzzle element of figuring out how all of the rooftops are connected and can be used to get to locked areas of the city, but that teeny-tiny wooden log you need to find in the back of a dark alley to leave the first area was a bit too obscure for my liking. Especially since the area leading to Boltgrime Lane is just kind of a giant red herring full of frustratingly juuuuust-out-of-reach ledges. I tried that jump to the balcony where the guard was overlooking the street about 700 times before I decided Garrett's legs couldn't take any more abuse.
2. After all the build-up, I'm a bit disappointed you never have an ACTUAL run in with the killer (aside from finding out who it is). Did I miss something, by any chance?
3. Is there a better way to deal with Ratboy than just stabbing the shit out of him? It felt a bit inelegant; but then, as Randy Newman once said, rat people got no reason to live.
Thanks for making this FM, it was a blast! Kept me entertained all week.

Glad you liked it! Are you going to do a signature The Mike review? Doesn't have to be this mission either, I think we'd all like more reviews from you! :D

creating a movie would be a true fruit on the cake! maybe just too much climbing and i was pleasantly surprised by the final magical twist!

Dropping the journal on Lt Ostham's desk doesn't seem to work.
